>FCPX might be a good tool for a small time editor that needs an occasional video, but it is not up to professional standards yet. I don't buy the argument hat only non-professional people are creative. I've worked with film and video

I think the difference is that the people complaining about Facebook were Facebook users, while the people complaining about FCPX are avid and adobe fans. I'm forced to reach this conclusion because none of the complaints has been accurate

You're making an error of fact, I beleive. Nobodies workflow has been uprooted, as the previous versions of Final Cut Pro did not cease to work when FCP X was released. If they wish to migrate to the better way of doing things then they c

I'm sorry you felt the need to characterize me in a derogatory manner, especially based on a dishonest characterization of the point I was making. I'm not aware that the previous version of Final Cut Pro has stopped working, or that anyone

45 minutes seems too short to me. I'm guessing its 45 minutes because the candidate goes thru a series of interviews. I think this is a mistake as well-- the third time explaining the same thing about his past experience, the candidate has

I believe those who are natural programmers, or maybe people who are just really good at it, are able to understand by talking to someone (Without asking any trick questions) how good a programmer they would be. I don't really try to figur

The best jobs I've had in my career, by far, were with the places where the interview consisted of sitting down and talking. In fact, one notable one, I was interviewing with the founder (this was my first startup though back then they wer

Reading Steve Case's summary, most of this is good stuff-- very much like the crowd funding legalization. I think its absolutely absurd I can bet $50,000 or $100,000 on options in the stock market, but can't put $10,000 into a local startup

FWIW, I used a trail version of FCPX to do our Startup Chile application video. It was very easy to have multiple shots in the timeline and cut between them. In fact, the whole thing was very easy, and very powerful. It is a vast improve

Just had my first look at the Timeline. As part of my "I'm leaving Facebook" project, I've been manually deleting every single submission I've made on Facebook, going back about 5 years. When I finally delete my account, there will be not

This incident strikes me as a glaring example of how broken web design is. A simple page like that should be easier and faster to create from scratch using a WYSIWYG tool, and then publish to a web platform that support it.... than copying

No, nike wasn't. If you open a factory in a country that previously had little or no manufacturing sector, offer people jobs at 3-10 times the typical competing wage, and greatly improve the lives of said people, you'll still be accused of

The simple answer is that after Jobs brought Scully in, he didn't have the power to do the right thing with the company. But its also the case that people were a lot more ignorant of computers then than they are now. People actually believ

I'm tired of seeing these kinds of socialist comments on HN. Apple has done far more to make the world a better place than any corporation I've ever heard of. Far more than any government in history ever has. Far more than any charity eve

Rational people always seem like religious zealots to religious zealots like you. The sad thing is, for the past two decades, Apple customers have been just sitting there doing their thing, happy with their products. Yet whenever Apple is m

Right, Apple has taken actions that are clearly in the consumers best interests, and you're choosing to see it in a light which allows you to characterize Apple as evil. That's the facts, Jack.

Nothing in that video invalidates the patent in question. If you're going to claim that the patent is bogus, you should read the patent first, understand what is actually being claimed, and then if you want to show prior art, specifically

The entire premise of this thread is false. UIWebView uses the optimized engine as of iOS 5. This is just an example of Apple releasing new code in the browser first before extending it into other apps being turned into an excuse for peopl

I don't know who down voted it, but you make two false statements. First off, there is no ban on competing browsers. There are a wide variety of browsers available in the AppStore, and I use one of them-- iCab-- a fair bit. Secondly, there

Its interesting that he wrote this post praising Apple, but seems to have missed completely what Apple's guiding principle is. In fact, Apple's guiding principle is almost a secret to hear the way many people talk about them, but it shouldn

Its interesting that this number, 400k per day, is significantly less than the 700k per day that Google has recently claimed to be activating. Yet at the same time, the iPhone is %55 of Verizon's sales, and the iPhone is not the only iOS de

It seems to me that they're comparing a USB powered device to a battery powered device. The iPhone runs its GPU in a particular way, and its GPU was chosen based on the fact that the iPhone needs to have its battery last all day. However th
